Exposure to selected pathogens in Geoffroy's cats and domestic carnivores from central Argentina [PDF]
Wild carnivores share a high percentage of parasites and viruses with closely related domestic carnivores. Because of increased overlap and potential contact with domestic species, we conducted a retrospective serosurvey for 11 common carnivore pathogens

The role of cellular adhesion molecules in virus attachment and entry [PDF]
As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses must traverse the host-cell plasma membrane to initiate infection. This presents a formidable barrier, which they have evolved diverse strategies to overcome.

Organization and Expression of Calicivirus Genes [PDF]
The application of molecular techniques to the characterization of caliciviruses has resulted in an extensive database of sequence information. This information has led to the identification of 4 distinct genera. The human enteric caliciviruses have been assigned to 2 of these genera.

Transcription of feline calicivirus RNA [PDF]
We report here the cloning and 3' sequence determination of feline calicivirus strain F9. Subcloning the 3' terminus enabled the production of strand specific probes for RNA synthesis. We extend the number of virus specific RNAs detected intracellularly to 8, and show that numbers 1-5 are represented as negative strands which may serve as templates in ...

Inhibition of cellular protein secretion by norwalk virus nonstructural protein p22 requires a mimic of an endoplasmic reticulum export signal. [PDF]
Protein trafficking between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus is central to cellular homeostasis. ER export signals are utilized by a subset of proteins to rapidly exit the ER by direct uptake into COPII vesicles for transport to the ...

Genetic characterization of a reptilian calicivirus (Cro1) [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundVesiviruses in the familyCaliciviridaeinfect a broad range of animal hosts including mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles. The vesivirus Cro1 strains were isolated from diseased snakes in the San Diego zoo in 1978 and reported as the first caliciviruses found in reptiles.

The Impact of Capsid Proteins on Virus Removal and Inactivation During Water Treatment Processes [PDF]
This study examined the effect of the amino acid composition of protein capsids on virus inactivation using ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and titanium dioxide photocatalysis, and physical removal via enhanced coagulation using ferric chloride.

CALICIVIRUS GASTROENTERITIS IN NORTH WEST LONDON [PDF]
During a thirty-month study of gastroenteritis in North West London, 592 cases were found to be associated with excretion of viruses. 39 (6·6%) of these patients, most of whom were admitted to hospital because of gastroenteritis, were shedding caliciviruses. The cases occurred throughout the year with a peak incidence in the winter.
